4 Aesthetics
Ella Harris · Policy Press eBooks · 2025
Chapter four looks at i-doc aesthetics, showing how designing aesthetic features can help researchers to focus on dimensions of affect, mood, atmosphere, emotion, and feeling in their topics. It also examines how aesthetic design for i-docs, as a mode of encountering the world, can do important work of illuminating entanglements of moods and affects at different scales, revealing how localised moods and affects connect to more pervasive structures of feeling. The chapter explores this by focusing on the i-docs The Lockdown Game and The Temporary City .
